Kindling Arts Festival 2026: UTOPIAS

Kindling Arts Festival 2026: UTOPIAS invites you to imagine what's possible if we let ourselves dream beyond the limits of what is. Now in its 9th year, Kindling Arts Festival features 22 unique performances and experiences from July 23-26, 2026 (Thursday - Sunday) at multiple venues across West Nashville.

The 2026 Festival celebrates the audacity of imagination. We ask: What does it mean to create in the direction of a world that isn’t here yet? How might artists model systems of belonging, justice, and joy that stretch our shared sense of what’s possible? Together, we can make something better, not someday, but here and now.

All-Access Festival Passes are now available at $109 for a Standard Pass, or $149 for a VIP pass -- both allowing you to explore all 22 unique artistic experiences this July 23-26!
